The problem: I HAVE SPOTS

The problem: I HAVE SPOTS

Excess sun, hormonal changes and age often cause spots on the hands, something that ages them instantly.

The solution. To prevent its appearance, use sunscreen on the back of your hands even if it is cloudy and, especially, if you do not wear gloves in winter. If they have already appeared, use daily hand creams that include depigmenting active ingredients. They will blur them and help even out the tone. You can also remove them with a laser. 3-4 sessions are usually necessary, ranging between € 50-100 each, depending on the center. Although some scabs appear –necessary for the skin to renew itself–, they fall off after a few days.

The problem: IN THE COLD THEY DRY AND CRACK ME

The cold and humidity make the skin dry faster. In addition, over the years, the dermis produces less fat.

The solution. Keep your hands always hydrated, choosing more enriched creams in winter: with butters, waxes and vegetable oils. It is also advisable that they include soothing and healing substances, such as aloe vera or rosehip, when the cracks have appeared. The best shield is gloves. Use them to insulate them from the cold and in housework.

The problem: I HAVE them flaccid and wrinkled

The problem: I HAVE them flaccid and wrinkled

The passage of time is inevitable, but exposing them to heating also increases dryness, leading to more wrinkles.

The solution. Avoid very hot water or air, which promote sagging, and strengthen the skin with antioxidant creams with vitamins E and A or ingredients that promote the formation of collagen, such as retinol. You can also promote collagen production with radiofrequency or mesotherapy sessions if wrinkles are very obvious. With this treatment you can "fill" these with infiltrations of hyaluronic acid. The effect lasts from 9 to 12 months.

The problem: THEY ARE EASILY IRRITATED AND TURN RED

Sudden changes from cold to heat can cause redness, but irritations appear, above all, from coming into contact with allergenic substances.

The solution. The most common causes of allergies in the hands are usually detergents and cleaning products, which cause redness, itching and, in some cases, peeling. If you have very sensitive skin, avoid it by protecting them with gloves whenever you use these products and apply hand cream with urea or soothing substances during the day. Consult a dermatologist. It will help you identify whether it is temporary irritation or a case of dermatitis that requires medication.

The problem: I HAVE THEM TOO ROUGH

Either because the skin is very dry or because the hands are subjected to daily activities that punish them, calluses may even appear.

The solution. Apply an exfoliating hand cream at night and then put on a nourishing mask, leaving it to act for 20 min. Repeat it 2-3 times a week as a crash plan and then turn it into a weekly ritual, as a reinforcement of your daily hand cream. Another option you can use is glove-shaped masks that are impregnated with softening and repairing substances that can be left on overnight. In cases of very rough hands they are "hand of saint".

Antiaging for hands

Take note of the most effective treatments to rejuvenate your hands, but read on to discover more solutions.

PEELING. If you want to unify the tone, the medical peel makes the treated skin peel off in 2 weeks, giving way to a renewed skin.
PRGF . Or Plasma Rich in Growth Factors. Proteins from the patient's own blood are reinjected to reduce wrinkles and rejuvenate the skin.
MESOTHERAPY . The infiltration of vitamins, amino acids and other trace elements rehydrates the skin and gives it a fresh and luminous appearance for 3 months.

The problem: MY VEINS MARK A LOT

In thin people it is normal for the veins in the hands to be pronounced by a lack of fat, but it is also common in athletes.

The solution. When the veins are very visible due to having thin hands or because the skin has lost density with age, the texture can be thickened and rejuvenated with infiltrations of hyaluronic acid. Are you very athletic? Remember that when doing activities that require a lot of effort, the pressure increases and the veins become saturated with blood, making them more visible. They usually return to their initial state when the body has recovered, but diseases should be ruled out. It could be a sign of anemia (the veins enlarge to increase blood flow) or a problem of heart failure (the veins dilate and you experience heat and pain).

The problem: MY PALMS SWEAT A LOT

The problem of hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is not only an aesthetic issue, it also affects the quality of life.

The solution. The talc can act as desiccant when perspiration is low, but if sweating is remarkable, can resort to inject Botox, which blocks the sweat for 6 months. Beware of antiperspirants! They can irritate the skin, especially if it is not well dry.

The problem: MY HANDS LOOK VERY BONE

There are times when hyaluronic acid falls short because it takes more than hydration to "plump" overly bony hands.

The solution. To level the depressions in the skin of the hand and make it have a smooth and uniform appearance , lipofilling can be used , a medical aesthetic technique that consists of injecting fat that comes from another part of the patient's own body to produce an effect of filling. This technique is completely harmless because the filling is natural, and the result is permanent. It even improves the coloration of the tone, because there is an increase in the vascularization of the skin.

2 HYGIENE GESTURES THAT HARM

And after all the creams and treatments that can make your hands rejuvenate, take note of these 2 gestures that could be damaging your skin.

The lavatory air dryers. The hot air not only reddens and dries the skin, but by not drying thoroughly, it is unable to eliminate all bacteria. In that sense, it is much better to dry your hands by rubbing them with cloth or paper towels.
Sanitizing gels for hands. More and more women carry it in their purse to counteract microbes, but its continued use - especially those containing alcohol - can alter the flora of the skin and irritate it. Better to wash your hands with mild soap.
